Welcome to ihaveawebsite.com, the official web site of Stephan Samuel (that's me). I am a professional IT contractor (architecture is my specialty, especially on the .NET platform), a technology guru, a triathlete, ex-uber-athlete, a classical pianist and a consumer of large quantities of bourbon and Budweiser.

For years, I worked to make this site useful to someone other than myself. I no longer believe that's the best use of my time. Instead, I set up a wiki that's much easier to edit. Now, this site hosts mostly my resume.

This site is optimized for IE6 but uses several modern techniques to make it compatible across several different platforms and browsers. If your browser does not display this page properly, you should probably upgrade to a more modern standards-compatible package. The site is scripted mostly in ASP with a back end in Access and SQL Server. The ISP that is currently hosting this site does not support .NET with this package, although several pages on the site make use of a multi-tier middleware architecture running on dispersed .NET and Linux servers.
